Your paradise awaits!
Are you dreaming of a wedding that’s as unique as your love story? Picture exchanging vows on a sun-kissed beach, surrounded by the soothing sounds of the ocean, or perhaps in a charming vineyard with panoramic views of rolling hills. A destination wedding combines the joy of marriage with the thrill of travel, offering an unforgettable experience for you and your guests. And what’s more, you can seamlessly transition from your wedding celebration to a romantic honeymoon without missing a beat.
Why Choose a Destination Wedding?
Stunning Venues
From tropical paradises to historic castles, destination weddings offer a variety of breathtaking venues that can make your big day truly magical. Whether you envision a serene beach ceremony in the Caribbean or a sophisticated soirée in a European chateau, the world is your oyster.
Intimate Gatherings
Destination weddings often lead to smaller, more intimate guest lists. This allows you to spend quality time with your closest family and friends, creating cherished memories in an idyllic setting.
Unique Experiences
Incorporate local traditions and flavours into your wedding for a one-of-a-kind celebration. Imagine a Hawaiian luau, a Tuscan wine tasting, or a traditional Balinese blessing ceremony—each adds a unique touch to your special day.
Top Destination Wedding Locations
Maldives
With its overwater bungalows and crystal-clear waters, the Maldives is a top choice for couples seeking a luxurious and secluded wedding experience.
Italy
From the romantic canals of Venice to the picturesque countryside of Tuscany, Italy offers diverse and stunning backdrops for your nuptials.
Mexico

Greece
The white-washed buildings and stunning sunsets of Santorini make for an idyllic wedding setting, while Athens and Mykonos offer a blend of history and nightlife for your honeymoon.
Tips for Planning Your Destination Wedding
Visit the Location in Advance
If possible, take a trip to your chosen destination beforehand. This will help you get a feel for the venue, meet with local vendors, and finalize details.
Consider the Climate
Research the best time of year for weather in your destination. You want to avoid the rainy season or extreme temperatures to ensure your day is perfect.
Notify Guests Early
Give your guests plenty of notice to make travel arrangements and obtain any necessary travel documents. Sending save-the-dates well in advance is crucial.
Budget Wisely
Destination weddings can be cost-effective, but it’s important to factor in all expenses, including travel, accommodation, and potential currency exchange rates.
We’re here to help you navigate every challenge, from choosing the perfect venue to coordinating with local vendors. With personalized planning services by our Destination Wedding Specialist, your journey will be seamless and unforgettable. Contact us now and embark on the adventure of a lifetime with the perfect blend of romance and travel.

The Canadian government confirmed today that they would be suspending vaccination mandates for travel. This update will now allow unvaccinated travellers to board trains or planes for domestic and outbound international travel.
Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc, Transport Minister Omar Alghabra, Treasury Board President Mona Fortier, and Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos made the announcement today. These rules will take effect on June 20, 2022.
Watch the full update below:
What is changing?
This change allows unvaccinated Canadians to travel to both domestic or international locations. All travellers will still be required to abide by other country’s entry requirements. This could potentially limit the destinations unvaccinated travellers will be able to visit. The United States and many other countries continue to require proof of vaccination upon entry.
Unvaccinated travellers will still be required to follow the current testing and quarantine requirements upon re-entry from international destinations. Canadian citizens and permanent residents returning from destinations abroad will still to be required to provide proof of a negative molecular test, such as a PCR test taken within 72 hours of their scheduled flight or land entry into Canada.
Unvaccinated travellers will also be subject to a COVID-19 test on arrival. Upon arrival, unvaccinated travellers must also quarantine for 14 days and take another COVID-19 test on day 8 of quarantine.
Government officials also noted that they would not hesitate to reinstate vaccine mandates at any time. Should a new variant of concern emerge or cases begin to rise, we could see vaccines for travel become mandatory once again.
Foreign nationals entering Canada are still required to be vaccinated under the new rules.
Masks continue to be mandatory on planes and trains. All travellers entering Canada are also still be required to complete the mandatory ArriveCAN forms within 72 hours before arrival in Canada.
Vaccines will remain a requirement for all cruise travel within Canada. A government official notes “Given the unique nature of cruise ships, including the fact that passengers are in close contact with each other for extended periods of time, vaccination against COVID-19 is still required for passengers and crew on cruise ships.”
